Come on Michael Gove, why don't you meet them and sort out this mess. One mother said she asked the Headmistress of her daughter's school if her daughter could have one day off for the Family to have a week -end break but her request was turned down, naturally she is very angry that the Teachers seem able to strike whenever they like. The NUT should write an open letter to Michael Gove send it to the Press and force him to meet them.

Neither have I, sending a child to school with bits of lace three inches long round their ankles. If the child tripped on them on a stair, no doubt the chavvy mother would've tried to sue the school. The headmistress was absolutely right.
